ANAHEIM – Count C.J. Wilson among those not at all surprised to see Zack Greinke wearing another uniform.

The Angels' No. 2 starter said he'd heard early in the offseason the type of numbers being discussed around Greinke, so he figured that would mean Greinke would be gone.

"His agent was very adamant early in the negotiations that 'We're going to get the biggest right-handed pitcher contract ever,'" Wilson said Wednesday. "That just sets up the vibe that they are going to get some ridiculous amount. You have to make good decisions in the front office. It was totally understandable."

Greinke signed a six-year, $147 million deal with the Dodgers, which was the largest ever for a right-hander, and then he told reporters that the Angels didn't really get involved in serious bidding.

Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto didn't address the specifics of the team's pursuit of Greinke on Wednesday: "Zack is a Dodger and we are happy for him. We wish him well."

Now that the biggest prize on the pitching market is gone, Dipoto seems content going to spring training without supplementing the work he has already done, adding starters Tommy Hanson and Joe Blanton and relievers Ryan Madson and Sean Burnett.

"We've done what we intended to do," Dipoto said at a Wednesday news conference to introduce the four pitchers. "I don't think anything else is imminent. I don't feel like anything else is pressing. I don't feel like anything else is required."

MEDICAL UPDATES

Madson, who is eight months removed from Tommy John surgery, said he's still feeling good, but he's trying not to push himself too hard early in the year. Madson said he has heard from Troy Percival and Dannys Baez that he would feel like he is at 100 percent in April, but he should still pace himself so he can be at his best later in the season.

"Jerry and Mike (Scioscia) have said 'Do your best to get where you are going to be, but under no circumstance do we want to go out and hurt yourself to get ready,'" Madson said.

Burnett also comes to the Angels after having surgery, a minor cleanup of bone spurs in his elbow. Burnett said he's been throwing for a couple weeks already, and he expects to be ready for the start of spring training.

"I can feel the difference," he said. "It feels looser. I got my extension back. The second half of the season I couldn't get extension."

Wilson, who had minor elbow surgery, said he will begin throwing in a couple weeks. He is expecting to be at 100 percent for the start of spring training.

CONTRACT DETAILS

Now that the deals with Blanton and Burnett are official, here's how the salaries break down.

Blanton will make $6.5 million in 2013, $7.5 million in 2014, with an $8 million option or a $1 million buyout for 2015. Blanton can earn an additional $500,000 per year in innings-pitched bonuses ($100,000 for 180 innings, $200,000 for 190 innings and $200,000 for 200 innings.)

Burnett gets a $250,000 signing bonus, plus $3.5 million 2013 and $3.75 million in 2014. He has a $4.5 million salary or a $500,000 buyout in 2015. His option vests automatically if he pitches in 110 games in 2013-14. He can earn an additional $625,000 per year in incentives for games pitched.

NOTES

Hanson will wear No. 48. He said he knew it was Torii Hunter's number, but he felt no reluctance to keep the number he'd worn in Atlanta. "I'm used to signing my autograph with it," he said...

Dipoto said he understood Gary DiSarcina's desire to leave the organization for an opportunity to manage at Triple-A Pawtucket, which is just 45 minutes from his home. "That's not something we could offer – we don't have a team in Pawtucket, R.I.," Dipoto said. "We wish him nothing but the best. We hope there's a day he'll join the Angel family again." DiSarcina had spent two seasons with the Angels as a minor league instructor before he was promoted in October to special assistant to the general manager...

Four Angels players – Wilson, Madson, Mark Trumbo and Hank Conger – participated in the club's annual Christmas party on Wednesday night at the ESPN Zone. The team hosted about 200 kids.
